Chapter Nine

Jacquelyn staredup at Stegian as she undid the rest of her gown, freeing her breasts. She started to pull it down and he approached slowly, lust in his gray gaze.

“Allow me to unwrap you.”

Trusting Stegian fully, Jacquelyn lay back, giving him total access. He unbuttoned the white dress shirt he wore and removed it slowly, teasing her with glimpses of his rock-hard body. His torso rippled as he moved up and over her on the bed. He lifted a finger and let a nail lengthen. Jacquelyn gasped.

“Shhh, I simply wish to see all of you.”

She relaxed, allowing him to cut through her dress. His nail caught her stomach and sliced it open just enough to make it bleed. Jacquelyn hissed and Stegian stopped, bent his head and licked the welling blood. “So sweet. So pure.”

He kept going, tearing her dress from her as he slid his hand down. When he finally had it ripped completely open, he cupped her mound, retracting his nail. He spread her slit, and used his middle finger to tweak her clit.

Jacquelyn moaned and arched her back. “Stegian.”

“Come for me,” he whispered, rubbing her clit and making pleasure build deep within her.

Her entire body quivered in delight as Stegian worked her clit. Liquid pooled at the apex of her thighs, and Jacquelyn bit her lower lip to keep from crying out in ecstasy as she reached culmination.

A deep laugh came from him. “That’s it, come for me.”

She shivered and pulled at his shoulders. “Stegian, please. I need to touch you.”

He loosened the front of his pants and freed his ruddy cock. Jacquelyn stared, wide-eyed, down at the length of his shaft, nervous if her body could accept something that size.

“Ah,” he stroked his cock, “take me in your mouth.”

Jacquelyn stilled, uneasy about the tone of Stegian’s voice. As she stared into his eyes, she caught the slightest flicker—and knew who was controlling his actions.

Reaching up, she cupped his face and drew him to her. The head of his cock nudged at the entrance of her heated core.

“Do you wish to be punished, pet?” He bent to kiss her and she stopped him just shy of it. “It is a simple bedroom game. Nothing more.”

Jacquelyn used her magik to hold Stegian in place. “You may be strong enough to force yourself upon me, but know that it’s the man I give my body and heart to, not you.”

“Jacquelyn,” he said, enunciating her name in a way he never had before. “It is I. Do you think if the demon were here now, he would be so gentle with you?”

Something deep within Jacquelyn urged her to allow the demon to continue its charade. She forced a smile to her face and steeled her nerves. “Make love to me, Stegian. Show me how it is a man loves a woman.”

His upper body tensed and she wondered if the demon and Stegian were fighting an internal battle. Deciding to continue pressing him, she let her magik rise once more, circling him in her power. “Enter me and take me as your mate—your wife for all eternity, Stegian. Please. Bond with me.”

She could almost feel the demon recoiling in horror at the idea of being bound to her. At the same moment, she sensed another magik merging with her own—Stegian’s.

His eyes flickered and his facial expression softened.

“I know not what you did to make him go, solnihshka mayo, but I wish to be sure you truly want me to take what you have held dear all these years.”

Tears of joy welled as she nodded, leaning up and kissing his full lips. Stegian took hold of his shaft and slid the head of his cock through her juices.

“Are you sure?” he asked, his voice strained. “I wish not to take your maidenhood from you if you—”

“Love me, Stegian.” She bucked against him, impaling herself on his cock and in turn, breaking through the thin barrier. White-hot pain shot through her and Jacquelyn squeezed her eyes shut.

Stegian showered kisses upon her in addition to letting his magik run over her, soothing away the hurt and replacing it with burning desire. She wrapped her legs around his waist, allowing him deeper access.

He gritted his teeth as he pumped in and out of her. His abdomen struck a steady rhythm with her swollen clit and she rocked against him, meeting him thrust for thrust. Jacquelyn’s body numbed with pleasure, and she forgot where she stopped and he began. They were one. Truly. Totally. For all eternity.

Their magiks merged as Jacquelyn came with a start. She cried out and held tight to Stegian as he continued to slide in and out of her. His pace increased as her pussy milked him. He jerked and tossed his head back as his orgasm tore through him, causing warm seed to jet forth and fill her. He remained still for a moment, his gaze locked firmly on her.
